Homework: Parents/guardians, please assist your child with
today’s homework.
Instructions: Read the following quote taken from The
Curious Incident of a dog in the Night-time” and then choose a task.
“People say that you always have to tell the truth. But they
do not mean this because you are not allowed to tell old people that they are
old and you are not allowed to tell people if they smell funny or if a grown-up
has made a fart. And you are not allowed to say, "I don't like you,"
unless that person has been horrible to you. (73.2)”
Option 1: You’ve
probably been told many times not to tell lies.
You have also been probably told not to hurt people’s feelings. But what
happens if the only way to spare some one’s feelings is to tell a lie? Write
about an experience you had where you had to tell a lie or hide the truth to
avoid hurting someone’s feelings.
Option 2: Has someone
ever told you something about you that was very mean? At the time you might of
felt hurt but later you though about it and found what was said about you was
true? Share how you felt? You don’t have to say what happened or what was said,
but just how you felt and why.
Option 3: Make up a
drawing of Christopher having a conversation with someone where he tells
someone the truth about anything (for example, that the person is very
boring). Imagine how the other person
will feel. Draw this person too. Write what the person might say.
Option 4: We are
taught to the tell the truth since we are very young. Is it always best to tell the truth? Are
there occasions where it might be better to not tell the truth? Explain why?
